When the eggs turned green...

Did Malign or Dodens tell you that hippie eggs taste better? :D

Ive tasted the difference in my own eggs, so that survey be damned. Actually the one day I was making oatmeal, and I cracked an egg in it, and when I began to eat it I was like wtf is this shit. It turns out they were the organic store bought ones instead, just put into the egg tray in the fridge. I know it sounds lame, but there was definitely a qualitative difference between my eggs and whatever I can get in the store. I actually dont give a shit if you believe me or not.

This kind of reminds me of the type of shit you read about mp3 vs lossless audio, and all those stupid back to back sound tests done with songs played back to back, and oftentimes they are songs that the listener isnt used to. These 'double-blind legit as fuck psychology' tests also fail to take into account that the auditory memory required in distinctions this precise is poor and short lived, so most of the studies are built on faulty experimental design.

Don't get me started on faulty design in psych experiments. Unfortunately the funds and/or time don't exist to do the legit experiments that should be done, so everyone is stuck doing half-assed experiments- which yield less than desirable results, even if the the design is solid otherwise (not always likely given the over-representation of SJW leaning people in psych departments and research review boards).
 
Nope. I've never discussed eggs with anyone on the internet prior to this discussion. I'm sorry that you have a poor sense of taste. It's not your fault though since the ability to perceive certain flavor differences is often a genetic difference.

You gotta work on your banter game, Omni. Palate is basically discovering your taste buds by training so I'm not even sure you're right here. But maybe you're joking, so not sure I should respond or not.

*but here's a paragraph trying to persuade you to believe me*

The link was basically a joke (notice the !!!) but it does appear to some truth imo. Yolk color seems to be attributed to egg quality and which then means 'better tasting.'

The whole organic thing started because rich white people were scared of ingesting hormones and other additives given to animals but now the discussion has added taste to convince others to join their cause. I bet you think organic milk tastes better too :D

I've had eggs from the grimiest military DFAC, egg whites, non-organic/third world lived chickens, organic and from my cousins backyard chicken coop and the only noticeable difference is the military powder shit. I think it's clear that CIG says his eggs taste better because he feeds them onions, like that intrinsically makes eggs taste better---by giving them something else entirely.
 
Actually, the ability to even detect certain compounds that change flavor is genetic. That wasn't a joke. I'm not sure how an "intellectual" would not know that while arguing to fervently on the subject of taste.

Weird then that all these white elitists all seem to have the ability to taste these special compounds :D

I like how you at least gave me the quality of 'intellectual,' i'll buy you dinner some time <3

You posted a study, and I basically said, 'well this happened to me, so it must be true'. Clearly I didnt try very hard to persuade you.

I wasnt really trying to be a strong advocate of organic foods. I was just saying that my egg laying chickens that I fed cranberries, flax seeds, and nutritional supplements to made for some extra delicious eggs. The organic eggs in the store are slightly closer to this than the non-organic ones, but honestly neither taste good enough to me.

Im more along the opinion that food will taste better if it is fed better, and a lot of organic animals are grass fed. Them being free of antibiotics and hormones is just a small bonus, whether it has a significant effect on health or not.

As far as taste, I find that organic chicken tastes substantially better than the cheap shit like Perdue. The same goes for most quality grade-A organic meat from the meat markets as well, but price gets in the way of me buying this very often.

I remember taking this test back in biology class in high school to demonstrate Mendelian polymorphism. Stuff tasted terrible, which means that I am among the chosen elite.

If you know how to cook, organic/grass fed/free range/fuck you, the food will taste better. I can buy a $8 New York grass fed steak at Sprout's and make it just as good as a $30+ steak at a restaurant. If you cook the shit out of everything without knowing how to properly cook whatever it is, it's all gonna taste the same because your culinary skills are at the level of a deaf and dumb 3 year old
 
The art of cooking a good steak. I didnt think you would understand.

But who's talking about steak? And on what magic planet is a grass fed steak 8$? It's like 10 bucks for a NY Strip steak and that's with additives. And comparison to a 30$ steak? That's weak, dog. Where da high rollers at?
 
Because it's fun and easy. You put the oil and kernels in, get to watch it pop full, then flip into the lid and you're good to go.

Lol but that's exactly what you do in a normal pan on the stove top. put in oil and the kernels in a hot pan. cover with a glass lid and watch it pop..
 
Reminds me of my step-brother when he was like 16 and he put the popcorn in its paper bag straight into a pan and it caught fire and then there was smoke all over the kitchen so he picked up a hair drier and tried to get rid of it somehow. He's not very practical but he's good at DOTA.

Sounds like Charles Darwin tried a jackmove.
